AMRITSAR: The billboards having image of Prime Minister Imran Khan installed by the Sikh community in Amritsar, to thank Pakistan over opening of Kartarpur Corridor, were removed by the Bhartia Janta Party (BJP) government, reported Indian media on Wednesday.
The Modi-led government is frightened to see increasing publicity of PM Imran Khan over his landmark move of opening Kartarpur crossing.
The administration forcibly took down the billboards having image of PM Khan along with Navjot Singh Siddu without any reason.
The officials of Pakistan and India in a historic event on Oct 24 signed an agreement for opening Kartarpur Corridor.
